Spring is in full swing, and it’s time to get grilling! Today I’m celebrating National Grilling Month with El Diablo mustards and several fabulous food bloggers from across the country. Each of us received a box of El Diablo Mustards to try out and inspire a recipe that you might enjoy at a backyard BBQ, and I have a delicious recipe for Sweet & Spicy Baked Beans for you today.

The two things that make these beans extra special are the addition of ham and El Diablo Jalapeno Mustard! The mustard gives the beans a little kick without actually chopping up a jalapeno, and the ham chunks take it to another level! It’s an easy BBQ side dish that will have your family and friends asking you for the recipe.

Here’s the Baked Beans recipe in an easy printable format. ENJOY!

  1. Can I just say how much I love the sound of this recipe? Baked beans are a summertime staple in my house and these would be perfect for our next BBQ.

  2. My favorite thing to grill is shrimp, scallops and vegetables (eg: pieces of corn, squash, whole mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower ect…) skewers. It’s a easy dish to do. Be sure to soak your skewers, and follows your timing closely for the shrimp and scallops (they cook very quickly). Use your favorite marinade, eg: lemon-pepper, (marinade in a “Ziploc Bag”, reserving marinade for basting). Best to add cherry tomatoes at the end…they will fall off. Just use your talent and timing, and “Viola!” Quick, easy and light faire for a warm summer day!!
